What is all this about? Being the world's worst bike mechanic I put a touch of 3 in 1 oil on the threads then tighten with an allen key. 95% of the time it just tightens without me touching the back. 3% I need to push the back with my thumb. The last 2% I but a small screwdriver blade in one half of the slot. Same when removing. Same story for duraace, XT and Superbe Pro. These days I'm always removing chainwheels to fit ever smaller ones! To think that I started on 47x50! I couldn't get over a railway bridge on 47x24 these days! Ray Green Brighton England
